MI1A. MEDIA INNOVATION

The Media Innovation category focuses on an innovative approach to any medium or media. Without a clear indication of innovation in this area an award will not be considered.

Media Innovation entries will be judged specifically on:
• Innovation in Media - Innovation includes Insights, Strategy, and Objectives. Entrants are advised to submit any relevant information.
• Quality - The quality of the execution will be considered, including Implementation
• Relevance to the Target Audience -  Entrants should detail who the intended audience is.
• Relevance to the Brand - Entrants should detail how the execution relates to the brand.
• Relevance to the Medium - Entrants should elaborate on the choice of medium and its pivotal role in this campaign.
• Results / ROI - While results and ROI may not always be available depending on the flighting dates, any information that can assist the judges in their analysis of the entry should be included.

MEDIA INNOVATION

Please provide an overview of your campaign as a cohesive entry. Use any combination of jpegs, video and/or audio where appropriate, and provide a written description to enable the judges to understand your entry.

SINGLE ENTRIES – must be entered individually. For example, three posters that are part of a campaign theme must be entered as individual entries, not all as one entry. If in the opinion of the jury, several pieces constitute a campaign, then these entries will be combined into one campaign award.

CAMPAIGN ENTRIES – a minimum of three different media types is required (e.g. television, outdoor, digital). Please provide an overview of your campaign as a cohesive entry - do not simply submit multiple elements. Use jpegs and/or video where appropriate to present your campaign, and provide a written description to enable the judges to understand your entry.

WE WILL NOT ACCEPT REPLACEMENT MATERIAL, so please make sure that the version you have uploaded or sent to us is the correct and final material.

DO NOT PLACE YOUR NAME OR YOUR AGENCY BRANDING ON YOUR ENTRY
As all work is judged anonymously, you must ensure that no reference to your agency is included on the entry.
